The New York Mets (67-51) came out and struck early, scoring three times in the top of the first off of Shelby Miller.

The DBacks would extend their lead to 6-3 in the fifth on a Jake Lamb RBI double to center, scoring David Peralta, who had doubled before him.

Heath Spencer and Yeonis Cespedes each hit solo home runs for the Mets in the sixth and seventh to cut the DBacks lead to 6-5. Andrew Chafin and Daniel Hudson then shut down the Mets, getting the final six outs to preserve the victory and move the DBacks back to within a game of the first place Giants in the National League West.

Meanwhile the Mets bullpen was stellar. Addison Reed pitched the eighth and close Juerys Familia worked the ninth.
